Use

Your Favorites allow you to start an application or a transaction without having to select them in the navigation tree. You can also open Web pages from your Favorites list. You can add applications, transactions, and Web pages that you use frequently to your Favorites. This list is displayed in the Favorites panel by the side of the content area when you choose the Favorites pushbutton in the toolbar. You can use this panel to organize, add, display, rename, and delete your Favorites.

Features

The Favorites panel is divided into sections and displays the following types of Favorites:

  • Local Favorites:

    Applications or transaction codes saved by the user as Favorites

    Web pages

    Note Transactions and applications are system-dependent. The Favorites list can therefore vary depending on your system connection. Web links are independent from systems and are therefore kept in the list also when you switch systems.
  • Optional: Easy Access Favorites (read-only) defined by the user in the SAP Easy Access menu in the SAP GUI back end

    Note

    This option is only relevant for SAP Business Client for Desktop. You must select the Easy Access Favorites in Favorites Menu option under Start of the navigation path Settings Next navigation step Personalize End of the navigation path. This merges them with your local Favorites in the Favorites panel, but they are displayed in a separate section at the bottom of the list in and they are displayed read-only mode. You cannot edit or delete them in the Favorites panel, but only in the SAP GUI back end.
